Chris Christie's Education Bills Bear Striking Resemblance To ALEC Models | ThinkProgress: "Christie’s allegedly ALEC-based bills cover a slew of education topics, including the use of standardized testing and reforming teacher tenure. (Christie, of course, has a habit of publicly berating teachers.)
The Christie administration is denying that ALEC had any connection to the legislation. “Our reforms have no basis in anyone’s model legislation,” said Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak. “The governor said to me, ‘Who’s ALEC?’”
State Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D), meanwhile, said that she had “never seen anything like this.” “To wholesale just lift up a package of education-reform initiatives that are being developed for use in every state around the country? I don’t think that bodes well for us,” she said."
